"This book is a marvelous imagining of the life of Shakespeare's wife and a devastating exposure of the misogyny of the male biographers who have disparaged her." "Germaine Greer, it turns out, is an unusual type, with both a polemicist's vision and a scholar's patience....SHAKESPEARE'S WIFE similarly transcends the drab conventions of much academic excavation of lost female figures. [It is] lively, rigorous, fiercely imagined." AnnotationFor centuries, Shakespeare critics have considered Anne Hathaway, Shakespeare's wife of 37 years, as an unloved shrew, the woman who famously only received Shakespeare's "second best bed" in his will. Noted feminist Germaine Greer reexamines the historical context of this little-known woman, and concludes that she was a handy self-reliant woman who took care of her own finances while Shakespeare was away on theater business. Also, through readings of Shakespeare's sonnets, Greer surmises that at least for a period during their marriage, the two were truly in love.
